Ella's Reviews > Outlive: The Science & Art of Longevity

This was kind of like a less fun and more rambly version of sleep book plus obesity code, with more detail about exercise added.

I like the idea that we should think about our future health goals and be more proactive about setting ourselves up well before problems actually occur, but this point could’ve been made in way less space.

I appreciate the authors honesty about his personal and mental health struggles, but it’s also hard because when you read the book he definitely sounds like a total nut. Who has time to do his insane exercise regimen?? I feel like Matthew walker wrote the sleep book with a lot of love and wonder for the idea of sleep, but Peter attia writes about exercise from a place of obsession and need for control and it’s kind of telling. Also WOW sounds like his wife has had to put up with a lot.

I think the biggest change this book had for me is that I think I need to eat more protein so I can gain more muscle mass, and I might also add a few of the supplements (fish oil and mg). And I might try to do constant glucose monitoring for fun.
